Sorry, I changed my mind on the photo...perhaps good idea to take another look ?

But I really liked the other one!~
I can still see it in my mind.
This is good but the other one was great, imo.

I nominate this photo. Excellent timing to avoid the wheel spokes blurring her face. Her expression and tones and textures go very well together.

I nominate this photo. Didn't see the first one, so just on this image. It's a great capture off a working woman in probably a workshop making stuff for tourists. Great black and white setting and great dynamics in the image.

great capture, love the lighting too. I nominate this photo.

The first photo & the one I nominated, is the black & white of a woman working at a cotton spinning wheel.
It was then changed to a color photo/portrait of centenarian.
I am glad Chesebert changed it back to the original black & white woman & cotton spinner.
It is a divine photograph!

Thank you all so much for your nomination. In most of my street photos, the people tend to look indifferent or are otherwise pissed or not presented in their best light. This one is a rare capture of someone who appears to truly enjoy what she is doing and is just being happy.

Lovely capture, the lines, the lighting, the happiness and the movement. It stays in my mind.
